Coach Erik ten Hag and his team are having difficulty maintaining their form and this week, they continue to face a big challenge when facing Aston Villa – the team ranked in the top 3 of the Premier League.

In the previous round, Man United lost 0-2 at West Ham’s Olympic Stadium even though before that, they had just had a brave 0-0 draw against Liverpool away from home. Notably, Man United has not been able to score in the last 4 matches and the attack is still a headache for Erik ten Hag.

As for the Red Devils, as of before the Man United vs Aston Villa match, they only owned 28 points after 18 matches played. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is 11 points ahead of their opponents and equal on points with Liverpool – the 2nd-ranked team.

In general, facing Aston Villa who are in form right now will make Man United fans worried. If they lose, the Red Devils will have 9 losses – the exact number of wins they have won since the beginning of the season.

This is truly a sad statistic for Erik ten Hag and his students. More importantly, Man United’s force is still seriously damaged and it is difficult to find worthy replacements. Center-back pair Harry Maguire-Lisandro Martine, defender Tyrell Malacia, and midfielders Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Amad Diallo are all absent.

As for coach Unai Emery and his team, they just missed the opportunity to climb to the top of the table last weekend, when a 15-match winning streak at home ended with a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

In terms of force, Matty Cash and Kamara were suspended. Besides, names like Pau Torres, Traore, Mings, Tielemans, and Buendia are all suffering from different injuries.

Their excellent form at Villa Park helps them fly high – where Aston Villa also defeated Tottenham, Chelsea, and now Brentford in foreign lands. Villa’s direct playing style with the ability to change statuses very quickly will make it difficult for MU to defend against tonight’s epic battle.

For Man United, they need to score goals to get a favorable result against Aston Villa. Statistics show that they have only scored 18 goals through 18 rounds and ranked 6th on the list of worst attacking teams in the Premier League this season.
